We are doing the 90 kg challenge again. This involves selling 90 kg of Kilombero rice: this is the amount of rice a farmer in Malawi needs to sell each year to send his/her child to secondary school.
Kilombero rice is very versatile (it can be used for savoury and sweet dishes), and it is easy and quick to cook.
If you would like to buy some rice it is available from Mrs Farquharson in room 305.
Students in S5-6 are invited to apply for the chance to travel to Kenya in February 2012. Â Application forms are available from Mrs Farquharson.
Applications must be returned to Mrs Farquharson by the end of school on Friday 16 September.
Interviews will take place on Thursday 22 September.
Following the very successful exchange of senior pupils earlier this year, Mrs Crawfordâs S3 English classes have been using the material gathered to write biographies of some of the Kenyan students. Meantime, pupils in the Languages department in Otieno Oyoo High School have been writing biographies of our pupils. Some pupils at both schools have written autobiographies.
This work is nearly ready to be printed and will comprise a book of about 90 pages, with photographs, reflective essays and pieces of writing, biographies and autobiographies.
The books will be on sale through the school at a price of £10.00.
If you would like to buy a copy of the book, please download an order form, or collect a form from the school office, and return it to Mrs Farquharson by 26 May 2011. Click here to download the order form – Order Form.
